    Yipppppeeeeee!!!

    I'm so happy to hear you're feeling better V. It's terrible to like your body just is not doing what it's supposed to or used to do. It almost feels like a betrayal. But now you're back and all's well with the hill climbing nutcake world.!!

    Thanks! Although my husband has informed me that I'm not really climber, no matter how much I might like it. When he's riding regularly, like this summer, he kicks my a$$ up all the climbs. But then he drafts me when we hit the rollers.

    He really phrased it like a compliment though when he said it. It was more about liking the drafting, than dropping me on the hills.

    Yay!! Good for you!

    I've learned through the years that my riding goes through peaks and valleys (figuratively, not just literally ) and I just can't let myself get too worried about the "down" times. Things generally get better.

    Glad to hear they have for you!

    That's because he likes to check out your powerful engine from the best possible vantage point.

    excuse me; you certainly ARE a climber!!
    you are climbing hills and enjoying it. THAT qualifies you as a climber!
    So what if he's faster than you?
